Soviet Propoganda
Thanks to the wonders of social networking, I’ve found an archive of old soviet posters. As you would expect, most of them are about how wonderful working and living in the socialist republic is and how horrible the Americans are. In fact, I was surprised at how evil they made us seem. From an American point of view, they were the evil ones!
While the dream of a working socialist system hasn’t completely died in my heart. I am a lot more pragmatic when it comes to soviet whimsy. I’ve picked out some of my favorites and translated them for you, but the big versions and many more pictures can be found here.
If you have any you’d like translated. feel free to comment.
